Review of Oma,


Worst place I have ever encountered
Star Rating - 4/17/2017
I have lived and traveled all over the U.S. Omaha is literally the worst place I have ever lived. I have been her about 9 months now and it gets progressively worse. I made the worst mistake of my life moving here!!
1. The crime here is ridiculous, I spent the last 16 years in a much more urban environment and did not experience the level of crime that I have in 9 months of living in Omaha. My garage was broken into and all my Christmas gifts stolen this year, my credit card was skimmed at a local gas station, packages were stolen off my porch....all that and I haven't even lived here a year. The Omaha police told me that Omaha has a much worse crime problem than people realize.
2. Though Omaha supposedly has this great economy the jobs here are all extremely underpaid from other parts of the U.S. , my pay is 40% lower here in Omaha but my rent and groceries are 30% or so higher than the city I came from.
3. The very worst aspect of living here though are the people here. I know this sounds snobbish or biased but the people here are the most unhappy nasty people I have ever encountered. I literally find it hard to leave the house most days.

I have had a completely different take. The crime is high in certain areas , that is unfortunate but compared to other places I have resided , that is so much less.Jobs are so readily available and I believe alot better wages based on what my friends describe elsewhere. As for the people, moved here from Fl and by far 8- on scale of 10 being best. Maybe this individual just happened to have had a bad hand dealt. I would give it another chance.
